Strange error when upgrading to 2.3.3

[pgjones]

I'm running the following in a docker container as a non-root user,

pdm run -v hypercorn --config hypercorn.toml backend.run:app
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/pathlib.py", line 1175, in mkdir
    self._accessor.mkdir(self, mode)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/nonexistent/.config/pdm/pep582'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

before 2.3.3 (with 2.3.2) this worked. I'm not sure what is going wrong here - any pointers?

[frostming]

Yes, it is caused by #1567. PDM tries to write the PEP 582 sitecustomize.py file into a user config directory. While in your exact case the home dir doesn't exist and isn't writable.

[pgjones]

Is the location PDM tries to write the PEP 582 sitecustomize.py file customisable?

[frostming]

Yes:

 -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Specify another config file path(env var: PDM_CONFIG_FILE)
